    As a whole, the record is a persuasive parcel of slick Americana with just enough redneck grit in the oyster. [Mar 2023, p.26]

    There's much to love here, with the jangle-crunch of Buckle Under Pressure and prefer To Lose proving he has the ideas as well as the gear. [Apr 2023, p.75]

    ["Goodnight" is] one of the strongest album closers heard recently and takes the edge off the hard-hitting statements that make up the bulk of this provocative, lay-it-all-out-there effort.

    Dickenson’s anger against America’s direction has musical muscle behind it.

    Nothing breaks four minutes with each selection displaying not just catchy, crisp hooks but production (by him) that captures these songs with a sneaky sheen and rather slick polish. He is most convincing though when the music shifts towards a tougher gospel/swamp vibe as on the self-referential “Take a Long Hard Look.”
